If literary magazines were honest about their submission policies:

Here at Snob Mag, we seek stories that bore the reader, while simultaneously making them feel stupid. If we don't have to reach for our dictionary at least twice while reading your submission, or if your story line makes sense, send it elsewhere. Though we're seemingly open to submissions from new voices, we really only publish things written by our very hip friends. And please, nothing shocking or pornographic.

Fuck that.
I'm toying with the idea of starting a magazine (probably webzine) that specializes in publishing things that are too sleazy or bizarre to go anywhere else.

Most erotica is terribly written and most lit magazines won't take anything obscene. There's a big gap in the market for stories that are literary, but fucked up.

Hm..yes.. I will continue to toy with this idea..
